Re-evaluating Dr John Campbell

I couldn't comment on who posted what where or when, as I didnt read this.
But it does occur to me that many people will be re-evaluating their position on covid and the handling of it.
Given some of the current revelations.
Nudge theory, politicians disdain for the public, incompetence, personal financial gain and more were all at play.

With regards to your comments about being less judgemental......
I wouldnt hold your breath😁
People generally don't like to be found wrong.

Neil Oliver is so far down the rabbit hole, he's landed in Australia. He lives close to my son and no-one has a good word to say about him. Amazon reviews are often fake and written by friends of the author.

Your opening paragraph is not the win you think it is. Rick Astley has an amazing powerful voice, has played Glastonbury and has appeared on stage with many artists, including the Foo Fighters.

Dr. John Campbell is a swivel eyed conspiracy theorist.

🤣sorry GMBatty but you've kinda proved veridica point.

Grandmabatty I worry about Neil Oliver’s mental health, he’s changed so much over the past 3 years.

This is turning out to be interesting.

Reading Grandmabatty's post about him going through the Earth to Australia reminded me of the programme he made about Coast Australia.
I'd like to re-watch it.

He seemed quite different in those days.

Sorry, I digressed.

Dont worry Callistemon it's a welcome diversion.
I used to love travelogues.

With all due respect to Rick, I was referring to the "narrative" which existed for a while that he was pretty naff and therefore so were his fans. He has developed a lot since the 80´s within the music business he has proved a lot of people wrong! I have nothing but respect for people who prove the critics wrong, which is where I am with JC. The term'"Conspiracy Theorist" gained widespread use after the JFK assassination although it originated earlier. It was used by official sources (CIA but we'll probably never know the truth) to discredit anyone who challenged the narrative. It became a convenient retort during Covid to discredit anyone who had enough brain cells to qualify as a critical thinker. If you want to challenge JC please do the same research as I did. Otherwise people will think you just don't want to face up to the truth. Two weeks ago the lab leak was pretty much confirmed. Now it's the masks. I guess the next steps will to publish accurate data on the unreliability of PCR tests and the long-awaited cost/benefit analysis of the lockdowns. By the time the effects of the so-called vaccines hit mainstream media, people will be baying for blood.

If you want to get on trend, accept that the conspiracy theories were actually spoiler alerts.

Namsnanny you think I prove the OP correct? In a good old Scots phrase, Aye, right! 😂

Ah, Rick Astley, DD always loved him.
I remember hearing Rick's voice wafting downstairs from her room (on vinyl, I should hasten to add!).

I dont think I've ever thought of checking out Amazon reviews to help me decide on the veracity of a subject.

While I'm always happy to discuss any subject with friends family or neighbours, I would need more than their endorsement to confirm my opinion.

I find I'm interested in what a person says, more than what others say about them.

Apparently we resort to character assassination when we are afraid to confront a subject.
Confronting the fact our gov. may not have our best interests at heart is frightening, I'll give you that.

I have re evaluated Dr John Campbell. I followed all of his advice from January 2020. He advised me to wear masks. He advised me to have the vaccine. He is now anti vaccine and says he was wrong to advise me to wear masks. So how do I know that his current advice to catch covid because it boosts your immunity to it is good advice if he was wrong about the other advice he gave me. I can’t help but wonder if the OP only became a follower of Dr Campbell when he became an anti vacc’er? I no longer follow his advice.

I've been following John Campbell on and off since early 2020. He has changed his stance and I think that he's following evidence. He's quite entitled to change his mind, if the narrative changes. It would be foolish to do otherwise. I don't know where this is leading but everyone has a responsibility to question what we are told.

Interesting.

People were vilified by some on GN if they questioned the official evidence-based advice.

Cite some of Dr Campbell's peer-reviewed papers in reputable journals and I might consider giving him the time of day, even if that's ten minutes before bedtime.

Otherwise a YouTube interview with Neil Oliver, a known subscriber to antisemitic and "New World Order" conspiracy theories who has no medical qualifications, on a minority media channel with an openly-declared populist agenda, doesn't suggest that he should be given any more weight than any other charlatan huffing and puffing on far-right websites.

When I want to review the available research I'll turn to the serious medical and scientific journals.

He also told people what dose of Ivermectin to take in one of his blogs even though he only advocated its use in a nudge nudge wink wink sort of way. But I chose to ignore how unethical it was because I’d come to depend on him.

Rick Astley has always been a talented singer songwriter.
It was just that there was far more competition in the 80s.
Astley would probably be regarded in the same overblown way as Ed Sheeran if he’d been around now instead of then.
I don’t recall him ever being regarded as ‘naff’, popular yes, but not a target of ridicule like some of Stock Aitken Waterman alumnus

Is there a sub text with regards to Rick Astley that someone can put me straight on?😄

‘Gransnet as it’s best’ as is regularly said Nams

I think the thing with Rick Astley was that in appearance he fell short of Rock God and when he moved on stage he was a bit ginger-haired nerd at the school disco, but when he opened his mouth to sing he had an incredible bluesy voice.

Truthful?
mmm.

I’ve just remembered that I heard a Rick Astley song a year or so ago and was amazed at how brilliant it was. I wish I’d made a note of the song. He isn’t someone whose albums I would have bought back in the day.
